It seems Bollywood’s star kid brigade can’t stay away from the spotlight even when they’re not trying. Aryan Khan, who usually keeps things calm and classy at public events, suddenly found himself trending again after a video from a recent gathering created a storm online.
In the clip, Aryan is seen standing beside director Zaid Khan when Zaid appears to make a hand gesture that instantly sent social media into “What just happened?!” mode. Many fans and of course, the ever-alert internet detectives assumed the gesture was directed at the crowd, sparking a fresh round of criticism and speculation around Aryan.
But hold on Zaid Khan has now stepped forward to clear the air, and his explanation is quite the twist!
According to Zaid, the gesture wasn’t meant for the fans or public at all. Instead, he claims it was directed at a manager standing behind the group, supposedly to signal something about coordination or movement on stage. Zaid insisted that the moment was “completely misunderstood”, adding that Aryan had absolutely no involvement in whatever the internet thought was happening.
And just like that, Bollywood gets another episode in the ongoing saga of “Star Kids vs The Internet”.
Despite the clip going viral in minutes, industry insiders say Aryan barely reacted to the noise, maintaining his image of being calm, composed, and unfazed by controversies. Those close to him believe he has grown used to the constant scrutiny that comes with being Shah Rukh Khan’s son especially after the high-profile case he faced earlier.
Fans, however, remain divided.
One group believes Aryan is unfairly targeted every time he steps out, while others continue to dissect every second of viral videos featuring star kids. But with Zaid publicly defending him, the narrative around the incident is already shifting.
What people aren’t divided on is this: Aryan’s charisma, confidence, and mysteriously cool aura keep him in headlines whether he intends to or not. And now that his debut projects are underway, the attention is only going to intensify. For now, the latest “gesture-gate” seems to be cooling off, but in Bollywood, controversies never truly die… they just wait for their next viral moment.
